Question 1

I did all of my heart tests yesterday like ECG, echo, and TMT, and everything was normal. But today, my heart rate went up to 120 bpm because of anxiety. I got scared while watching a movie and now I'm just really worried. Could this affect my heart? My heart rate is back to 80 now, though. Could you please let me know if I should be concerned?

Accepted Answer

based on your description, it seems like you experienced palpitations and an increase in heart rate due to anxiety. Since your recent heart-related tests (ECG, echo, TMT) were normal, there is likely no immediate cause for concern. To help manage your anxiety-induced palpitations, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily. This can help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations during stressful situations. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication. In the meantime, practicing relaxation techniques and deep breathing exercises may also help alleviate anxiety-related palpitations. Remember to stay hydrated and avoid excessive caffeine intake as well.

Question 2

I'm experiencing a vibration-like sensation in my chest, stomach, and head when my heart beats. When I lie down, I can feel those beats in my stomach, and when sitting, I sense them in my chest. While running, my heartbeat feels really intense. Can you help me understand if this is normal or something I should be concerned about?

Question 3

I've been dealing with this dull pain for about four months now, and I'm really starting to worry. I don't have any other symptoms like shortness of breath or anything, but I'm concerned it might be heart-related. Could this kind of pain without those typical symptoms still be linked to a heart issue?

Accepted Answer

Dull pain lasting for 4 months can be concerning, especially if it is located in the chest area. While chest pain can be a symptom of heart problems, it is not always the case. Other conditions such as muscle strain, acid reflux, or anxiety can also cause chest pain. Since you do not have any other symptoms like shortness of breath, it is less likely to be related to the heart. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. If the pain persists or worsens, you may consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for temporary relief.

I'm a bit worried because I had a myocardial infarction about 4 years ago. Could having triple vessel disease lead to any complications for me? I'd really appreciate your advice on this.
